Description of problem: Cannot launch kaffeine if amarok is running, or vice versa, amarok crashes if kaffeine is already running. It seems to be related to pulseaudio and not to the applications, that is why I am reporting it here. Moreover both applications also during normal startup reports: $ kaffeine rocker.wm 11 *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused $ amarok http://www.play.cz/radio/beat128.ogg.m3u Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp.. Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp. QLayout "unnamed" added to QVBox "unnamed", which already has a layout QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow QObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments StarManager::ratingsColorsChanged() --> ContextBrowser::ratingOrScoreOrLabelsChanged(const QString&) *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused But everything seems working fine. I do not know how much it is related to the 1st problem.

Kaffein crash: $ amarok http://www.play.cz/radio/beat128.ogg.m3u (Amarok runs fine) $ kaffeine rocker.wm 11 *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused kaffeine: pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:98: pa_mutex_unlock: Assertion `pthread_mutex_unlock(&m->mutex) == 0' failed. KCrash: Application 'kaffeine' crashing... kaffeine: Fatal IO error: client killed Unable to start Dr. Konqi Kaffeine BackTrace: This backtrace appears to be of no use. This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

Amarok BackTrace is attached: amarok_crash.0.log amarok_crash.1.log Actual results: Application Crash. Expected results: No Crash. Hopefully mixed sound from both applications. Additional info: I hope the problem is not dependent on rocker.wm, and any other file will do :-). At least I tried another wmv with the same result.

You should run pulseaudio. I have no idea how is it started in KDE. Does it start when you launch it manually from command line? Try "pulseaudio -vvv"
Closing because no response.
